To the editor:

June 14 was Flag Day, according to the morning paper and several of our calendars. My wife and I went shopping in New Bern. We took two different routes there and back and only saw two flags — one on our own house and one alongside U.S. 17.

Is patriotism dead?

I’m sure over a million men and women have died for that flag and we think it’s disrespectful that very few people display it — especially on a day specifically designated as a Flag Day!

Thanks to God and our military, everyone in this great country of ours has the right to chose to display the flag or not.
